Hi Malcom,

I'll give you a sample function and then call it. It is very similar to the one in the exercise.

It has a different function name and alert message. See if you can base your function for the challenge on this one.

function ShowMessage() {
    alert("Hello World!");
}

ShowMessage();

Hope this helps! 🙂

Heidi
